Wherever their bones may lie, the courage of heroes is consecrated in the hearts and engraved in the history of the free. Lt Col Honner DSO MC, 39th Commander speaking of the dead from the battle of Kokoda.
either way a few feet forward and he'd be dead, but if it was flak wouldn't it be more likely that there'd be multiple hits? and those drawings are great............

Ive posted my drawings before Lanc, and CC has one of them as well, as Im sure ur aware... Just thought Id dump them out there again for the noobs...
I would assume that hole is from flak, otherwise it was one hell of a cannon round that made that hole...

That one of the B17. Amazing the plane flew back to base.
I cant imagine what the pilot, copilot and flight engineer were thinking. Everythings fine, going through the flak, and in one moment the whole nose of the plane dissapears.
